\"apple<\/a>Urban trees are good for your health and wellbeing but could have unrecognised monetary value called “treeconomics”<\/a> as well.\u00a0 There are a number of factors which could contribute to treeconomics in urban areas.\u00a0 The first is the effect on pollution.\u00a0 Some trees such as Plain trees are good at absorbing air pollution.\u00a0 The second is to do with energy conservation.\u00a0 Trees absorb heat in summer and act as heat sinks in winter.\u00a0 In principle they save on air con use in summer and heating costs in winter.\u00a0 These effects are small but add up taken over a city wide basis.\u00a0\u00a0 Trees mop up carbon helping to mitigate climate change and help absorb rainwater, potentially coping with the more extreme weather we will see.\u00a0 These effects have been known about for years but now health and wellbeing effects are being recognised as well.\u00a0 Trees help people to live longer, have less miscarriages and cope with Asthma.<\/p>\n

Urban trees are however under more threat today than ever before.\u00a0 There are two main ones.\u00a0 People chopping them down and disease.\u00a0 There are a whole heap of diseases which are spreading and extending their range in part due to climate change.\u00a0 Plain trees, Scots pines and Ash trees are all under threat from untreatable diseases.<\/p>\n

There has never been a better time to value trees, your health may depend on it.\u00a0 How about suggesting your council plants fruit trees so people can forage for free?\u00a0 Or in the UK did you its easy to put a tree protection order on a tree and you don’t even have to own it.<\/p>\n
